Erwa was focused and practicing her punches with great enthusiasm. She didn't know why, but she felt set of Fist Technique was naturally designed for her, feeling more and more comfortable as she practiced. When Lu Ren asked, she answered absentmindedly.
"Probably just a day or two. Uncle, why are you looking forward to him so much?"
"I need a set of clothes."
Lately, Lu Ren had been moving around wearing only a pair of exceptionally elastic shorts, as the Fish Scale Combat Suit and space suit he wore had long shattered.
Only this pair of shorts specially designed for him still served to cover his modesty.
As for Erwa, this little girl was only about twelve or thirteen years old. She hadn't learned any worldly etiquette, so there was no need to be overly concerned.
Erwa touched her ragged clothes, looking like she'd come from a refugee camp.
"I need clothes too. I've grown a lot taller recently. I'll go hunt some mountain goods and trade for a few outfits."
Saying this, Erwa didn't hesitate, took her longbow, bid farewell to Lu Ren, and excitedly headed into the mountains.
Watching Erwa disappear into the woods not far away, Lu Ren slowly withdrew his gaze and continued sitting by the doorstep.
Lately, Chang Xin had finally calmed down within the Inner Realm, and he was attempting to communicate with her.
The three True Skills found in the Moon Palace: Long Sky Swordsmanship, Thunder Flame True Technique, and Taiyin Refining Form True Technique. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel~fire~net
The highest level of these True Skills was Path Determination, and how to proceed after achieving Path Determination remained vague in words, revealing only bits and pieces, with ambitions set high.
The only gateway was through Chang Xin here.
He mused, raising his head, noticing an old man draped in a raincoat, who began inspecting the straw hut where Erwa had previously stayed. Upon seeing the new wooden house near the creek, the old man hesitated and slowly walked over.
When the old man got close and saw Lu Ren with his deformed legs and arm, looking like he wasn't very active, despite the explosive muscular power of Lu Ren's body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man saluted, sitting on a small stool, leaning against the wooden house. He greeted warmly, "Young man, I'm Niu Genshan. Do you know where the young girl who stayed in the straw hut went?"
Lu Ren looked up at Niu Genshan, raised his eyebrows, and replied with deep eyes, "She went hunting in the mountains."
Niu Genshan's expression relaxed at this, and he carefully examined Lu Ren, especially noticing Lu Ren's deformed legs and child-like right hand. His cloudy gaze flickered, and his slightly hunched back straightened instantly.
The frail, aged voice suddenly became full of vigor.
Lu Ren didn't answer Niu Genshan's question but instead examined Niu Genshan carefully, and then, somewhat surprised, said, "Cow Demon?"
His Heart Eye had slightly opened, Buddhist Sect's Six Consciousnesses explored, revealing Niu Genshan's True Body as a green-skinned water buffalo.
When Niu Genshan heard Lu Ren reveal his background in one go, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and his small figure rapidly expanded, muscles bulging, instantly transforming into a burly figure over two meters tall.
"What brings you here?"
"Simply temporarily residing."
Niu Genshan sneered, finding Lu Ren's words hard to believe, yet seeing Lu Ren incapacitated, he wasn't overly cautious.
"Looks like you sustained severe injuries, even managing limb regeneration, but in your current state, even if you have something in mind, there's no hope."
He lifted his foot for a move.
The next moment, Niu Genshan flew out like a cannonball, shot far away, and crashed hard into a nearby hillside, his body sinking, raising quite a cloud of dust.
Lu Ren withdrew his hand, looking somewhat surprised.
On principle, in Beidou Emperor Star, with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism so abundant, cultivation should be notably easy, yet he exerted little effort, somewhat testing, but the result surprised him greatly.
Could it be that I'm too strong?
Lu Ren suspiciously looked at his left hand.
No way, even though his Physique and Spirit were in high-speed growth, there shouldn't be such overwhelming Power.
Just as Lu Ren doubted his own Power, Niu Genshan clutched his chest, struggling to climb out of the crater created by the impact. His expression shocked and pained.
His ribs were extensively broken.
Just then, without even touching Lu Ren, he felt an unimaginable powerful force suddenly collide with him, sending his near-thousand-pound body flying away.
What was the attack from the opponent?
Niu Genshan asked with a dark expression.
Lu Ren was also somewhat surprised, then said calmly, "Just the purest attack. It's simply your Power too low to see my strike's speed."
Mad, it's utterly humiliating.
Niu Genshan's eyes turned red, his figure rapidly expanding, and amidst transformations, a massive three-meter-high green water buffalo appeared before Lu Ren, its pair of horns like scimitars, gleaming with cold metallic light.
Niu Genshan's hooves scratched the ground, then charged towards Lu Ren with ferocity, like rushing thunder across the sea, seeming able to smash mountains.
With Niu Genshan's movement, the ground subtly shivered, air turned into viscous fluid, flowing around his horns.
Lu Ren frowned slightly, if this charged over, the house he'd built in recent days would be laid to ruin.
Even if he raised his hand to block, with such collision Power from the opponent, the residual air ripples alone could destroy the wooden house behind him.
Sometimes, having such high Power levels isn't entirely beneficial.
Lu Ren sighed, stood up, his body coordination extremely comical.
Yet in each gesture, it seemed as if a mountain giant stood tall and firm, an extremely robust Qi Blood Power suddenly erupted from Lu Ren's body, seemingly igniting and distorting the surrounding air.
Niu Genshan's bull eyes almost popped out in shock. He couldn't comprehend how Lu Ren followed the path of Body Refinement.
Lu Ren's left fist rested on his side waist, then struck towards Niu Genshan into the air.
In the next moment, a visible air punch cannon wrapped in powerful, domineering and fierce golden Ten Earth True Qi formed by Fist Strength blasted through.
Amid flying dirt and stones, the speed of lightning.
Niu Genshan barely halted his momentum, watching the Fist Seal smashing his way, letting out a low moo in resignation, his horns suddenly radiating Clear Light, enveloping him.
In less than a tenth of a second, Niu Genshan's massive body got blown away by the Fist Seal, free falling through the air, crashing heavily into the hillside behind, never rising again.
Blood trickled from his mouth and nose,
